Having trouble updating my HomePod

I wanted to know if anybody else is having trouble updating their HomePod from the home app. I don’t see an install button, and the only button I see is update update all devices and that’s not coming up as a button.

updating HomePod

By Alan Siman

voiceover is not working on the update screen. I had to get my cited wife to get the update to work. I don't know if Apple will fix this soon or just simply get someone cited to push the right button on the update screen

Temporary Workaround

I too noticed this issue when trying to update my various HomePods to 14.3 but have figured out a temporary workaround.

When in the Home app and on the screen with the Update button, temporarily enable Screen Recognition and the Update button is accessible to VoiceOver.

After tapping on update, then you can turn Screen Recognition back off.

This worked for me when updating to 14.3 and again yesterday when updating to 14.4.

HTH!
